Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically begin developing around the age of 10 and surface anywhere from adolescence to a patient’s twenties. Many times the wisdom teeth become impacted against neighboring teeth, preventing their emergence.

In some cases if wisdom teeth are not removed, teeth can often shift due to lack of space and patients may experience jaw pain and even normal sinus dysfunction. Consult Dr. Bordeianu if wisdom tooth extraction is right for you.
